7 pin strat switch wiring?

[SH73]

I've bought a second hand strat for a project. The blade switch has a 7 pin to connect pups and pots to it. The 8th pin is connected to casing. 

I didn't take notes before I de soldered the wires now I'm struggling to wire it up to work as a 5 way blade switch.

Anyone has a diagram how to wire a 7 pin switch to work as a 5 way strat switch?

On a 4 a side regular switch there is one connection pin that doesn’t get used, so that may have been soldered to the side? Does it look like a regular 4 a side switch?

Or it might be an 8 in line cheap copy type? 

[SH73]

it's  an eight in line switch. 8th is a ground.

I’d be inclined to start from scratch like this

Thanks. This works for a standard 8 pin switch. The one I have has 7 pins with an extra 8th pin which seems to be ground.

Any pics?

Looks like YKE, not the dodgy one I was thinking of. 

Perhaps...

Thanks. Looks like the previous wiring I dismantled with capacitor soldered to volume and tone pot.

Would there be a much sound difference if I wired up classic strat wiring with CRL 5 way switch?

I very much doubt there’d be a noticeable, if any, tone difference - just an easier life for you!
